RUGBY – In rugby, Romania’s national team lost 19-8 to Georgia on Saturday in Cluj, in their first match of the 2019 Rugby Europe International Championship. The points for Romania were scored by Florin Vlaicu who converted three tries. Romania will next play Germany on February 16 in Botosani.



HANDBALL – From the world of handball, Romanian champions CSM Bucharest grabbed a 30-18 away win against Germany’s Thuringer in Champions League Group 2. The top scorer for the Romanian side was Jovanka Radicevic with 13 goals. CSM Bucharest is now 2nd placed in the group tables with 10 points, ahead of the last three group fixtures. Ranking first is Hungary’s Gyor with 13 points. Vipers Kristiansand of Norway is third-placed with 8 points, followed by Ferencvaros of Hungary with 7 points, Krim Ljubljana of Slovenia with 3 points and Thuringer with 1 point. Romania’s last representative in the EHF Cup has now been knocked out of the competition. Magura Cisnadie was bottom-of-the-tables in Group A with six defeats in six matches. On Sunday, the Romanians lost to Germany’s Bietigheim, 17-29 at home. In Group D, title holder SCM Craiova were ranked third. In their last fixture, the Romanians won 26-23 against Spain’s Bera Bera at home.
